Octogenarian, Nashville Arts Company staple and Marianist Monk Brother Mel, earlier this month, unveiled his coffee table book featuring decades of his prolific works of sculpture and painting. The tome is written and produced by Nashville Arts Matriarch, Anne Brown, owner, Fifth Avenue's The Arts Company.

Shown, left, one of 250 wall sconces, each unique and holding Brother Mel's new book, also made their debut at the Dec. 5 event. At $250 total for both the book and the sconce, Brother Mel fans got a heck of a deal. (The Fiance and I included.) Photo: Leisa A. Hammett

The Arts Company gets my thumbs up for one of Nashville's best art galleries. Brown has a keen eye for exceptional talent, including an increasing number of photographers, both local and otherwise.
